Classic Shaved Sprouts Salad

If I patron a restaurant where shaved sprouts salad is an option on the menu, there’s a solid eighty percent chance that I will order it. It’s just that good!

Brussels sprouts have become a recent favorite of mine (I’d never eaten them as a child), whether in shaved or oven-roasted form. It’s like a miniature cabbage, and miniature things are always so much cuter than their full sized counterparts, wouldn’t you say so?

Shaved sprouts certainly brings out a different taste and texture than oven-roasted sprouts. It’s raw, so thin shavings yield a crunchy, slaw-like resemblance which makes for a rather refreshing and unique salad base.

This simple salad is delightfully flavorful, and a play on the Ceasar salad—which happens to be one of my favorite classic salads. Thinly shaved Brussels sprouts (can be done using a mandolin slicer or by hand using a sharp knife) are tossed with a homemade healthy avocado dressing (click for recipe), and topped with a generous portion of shaved Parmesan cheese (I used my trusty vegetable peeler), roasted chopped almonds, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. I even threw in a few roasted sprouts for a “two-ways” dish! It’s a beautiful and delicious dish perfect for the summer!
